~ a line of severe thunderstorms moved thru the area early monday morning. leaving some without power even yet. the power poles were snapped off, lines down - damage worse than recent ice storms of this past winter. we were fortunate with only large limbs & small branches that fell ~ that i am still picking up. our andironak chairs were tossed across the street & my chairs that i have around the yard with plants on them - some survived the flight, some did not. our flag pole & fence post snapped off. many in the area had large trees uprooted, some landed on cars or homes. the wind hitting the house was scarey. it truly was seconds that i had to grab the cat (phoebe) & run to the basement where ruger resides on the couch & our other cat (vester). the wind was horrible. they clocked one of the gusts at 94 mph. it is a wonder how things withstand that force. i am soo thank*ful ~ it could always be worse! and by His grace the sun does come out agin... humble ♥

Oh my! I am glad you are okay. Storms like that are so scary. I hope the cleanup is not too difficult.
Oh Vikki < How grateful that you and yours are ok . So sorry for those who had so much destruction -- WE were at BIble school when the storms came through our area -- It was the most lightning I have ever seen -- cloud to cloud even looked like fireworks -- When we got home -
we had only had a little rain -- that skirted around us -- God is very good to us __ Blessings Kathy
So glad you are ok! I do not like storms like that!
Have a good day!

I'm so glad you're OK dear Vikki, I know there was so much damage done. Amazing how it all can happen in such a small period of time, isn't it? Hope you are good tonite dear friend, xxoo, Dawn
Isn't it so terrifying when summer storms arrive like that??? Our area hasn't had the rain we need as of late and it is very humid and hot and that is when we always get storms .... I am so glad the storms didn't hurt anyone but it is hurtful cleaning things up... We all are glad you and your family are well. Rest well.
